It’s almost 8,000 words and took me nearly a month to put together. I hope you’ll learn a lot and use the workouts in your own training to get faster.

I wrote this guide because I’ve often struggled with doing the same workouts over and over again. It’s meant to be inspiring and motivating. It will help you spice up your training and get out of a running rut.

Some workouts are easy. Some are puke-by-the-side-of-the-track hard. Whatever your fitness level, you’re going to find something that works for you. I wrote this to help my fellow runners try a new workout and increase their fitness level. Let’s all get after it!

I downloaded it and I started going thru it this morning. Some very cool workouts in there and they look like fun. It makes me want to go try them out right now. But I promise not to do them until you say so!

Thanks so much for the book and all your work in general. I read your site all the time and have incorporated a lot of your ideas into my training. I can’t wait to start some of the workouts in the e-book.

I have only one suggestion, and it is by no means a big one. I just think it might be a good idea to number the workouts. That way you can reference them or I can reference them to a friend who may be using the book as well. It is easier to say #8 (and find it in the pdf file) than to say Hill Climb Long Run. But this is just a suggestion, thanks again!

Thanks for the compliment! Yes, you’re completely right. I thought of that at the last minute and because of time constraints and design issues, couldn’t do it and still stick with my original launch date. So, I thought it would be best to deliver it without numbered workouts, but on time. It’s not perfect, but it still gets the job done

What did you do for your ITBS??? I’m having a serious case of this and I’m trying to get over it (down to running one day a week and only a mile or two) and it’s bumming me out that I can do my usual mileage. Any tips you can pass along would be greatly appreciated!

Major take-aways: use a foam roller/tennis ball to dig into the root of your pain (not just where it hurts, but what’s causing it), do a lot of strength work like squats, lunges, dead lifts, ITB Rehab Routine, etc. (icing/stretching won’t help much at this stage, but supplement with dynamic stretching). I hope this helps!

Thanks for all of these amazing workouts! I was wondering if you could email me because none of the links are working. I have some questions about a couple workouts. But thanks again for all of these helpful workouts
